Fidelity’s FBTC was next with $64 million in inflows, while Bitwise’s BITB took in $42 million to cross the $2 billion AUM mark for the first time.

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell confirmed signs that the public agency is set to loosen monetary policy at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday, with bitcoin rallying above $64,000 afterward.
"The time has come for policy to adjust," Powell said in his speech. "The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks."
Crypto traders widely expect the Fed to deliver its first rate cut at its next policy meeting scheduled for September 17.
Tighter monetary policies typically dampen risk appetite in financial markets, while lower rates increase the allure of asset classes such as crypto as investors have cheaper access to capital pools.
